As we become increasingly dependent on technology in our day-to-day lives, most notably our smartphones, it's easy to question its potential impacts on our mental health. There's been a flurry of conversation revolving around one topic in particular – the connection between phone addiction and attention.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a brain-based condition that can cause people to have trouble paying attention, controlling impulsive behaviours, and being overly physically and/or mentally active. The disorder has long been viewed as a child’s condition that will be grown out of, but we now know that ADHD persists into adulthood, and adult-onset ADHD is now also a medically recognised condition.

Students diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are likelier to experience lower academic achievement than their peers without ADHD. However, the exact reasons for this are not one hundred per cent certain. The disorder's symptoms and executive functions can negatively influence learning behaviours such as motivation, attitude toward learning, and persistence, which are vital aspects of the learning process.

Choosing the right ADHD tutor for your child can seem challenging. Still, with careful research and consideration, it can be a difficult task. The best tutors don't just focus on academic achievements but also aim to help children with ADHD develop organisational skills, study techniques, and a positive attitude towards learning. With this in mind, here are some key points to consider when choosing an ADHD tutor.

If you or your child are having difficulty with planning for revision, staying organised with homework, starting an essay, or deciding on a degree, job, or career, a specialised education coach or ADHD tutor may be beneficial.
